Been a few days of relative silence, lo and behold Temu Gollum neighbour is blasting his doof doof again. Wonder if he'll go for the illegal bonfire again for a twofer. #wanker #shittyneighours #actyourage

There are plenty of things I hate about endometriosis- but right now what I absolutely hate is not being able to go out walking in this glorious wind, rain and gloom because I can't walk very far. I do hope this weather stays by the weekend so I might frolic.

Stumbled on this incredible bit of colonial archaeology wandering through Melbourne. It's a piece of European bottle glass flaked into a scraper by Kulin Nation First Peoples, excavated from the 1855-70 settlement at Wesley Place, now displayed at 130 Lonsdale www.wesleyplace.com.au/content/news...

While we’re still figuring out life on Earth, Voyager 1 is 15 billion miles away, cruising on 69KB, an 8-track, and 1977s Fortran like it’s nothing.

It is the 80th anniversary of the USA attacking the city of Hiroshima with an approximately 15kt nuclear weapon and promptly killing some 75,000+ people, large majority women and children and vast majority civilians.

I despair that the atrocities continue, that the atrocities never stopped.

Everything crossed for success. Tidbinbilla is one of my favourite places on Earth and I long to have a good, solid visit again one day soon.

Last night I asked for a sign from my papa in the form of a duck. Today whilst watching the Marko Hietala set at Tuska, there's this dude. Shirtless, no need for a rain poncho. Big Duck Energy. Day is made.

Had to stop to photograph this Gunnera at Hethersett today.

It's a big plant, rather than a tiny house.

Upon a stone of stories past,
The magpie rests as shadows cast.
Its feathers gleam in fading light,
Black and white in hues of night.

Around 1000 koalas were shot in April alone.
This was Government sanctioned and performed by DEECA.

There were lots of other solutions.
Please support Jessie and our koalas by signing this petition - Victorian citizens only.

Awesome conjunction! Regulus (Leo) on left, Mars on right. Apologies for horrible quality pic. Phone camera and poor lighting does not make a pretty picture. In person it's stunning I swear!
